That's exactly how I thought my sisters accident should have been handled. I thought the person at the very back that CAUSED the accident should be responsible for ALL the cars involved. But that wasn't the case. Each person was responsible for the car they hit. And they were all stopped at a red light!! Like I said - it was becuase they didn't leave a "safe space" between them and the car in front of them. Even when this happened I was thinking - so what if I DID leave a safe space and I'm at a complete stop and someone comes up behind me going 40 -50 mph? No matter how far behind the car I am I will probably hit it being pushed at such a speed.
